What's going on?

"What's going on?"  This is an important question that we must learn to ask about our health.  The most important piece of exercise equipment in our home is the scale, and I step on it every day.  My blood sugar level this morning was 101 and that's something I check every day as well.  When was the last time you had your blood pressure checked or had any other tests run by your doctor.  If you are 50 or older these are things you need to do at least once or twice a year.  The best way to prevent heart disease is to see it coming and do something about it before it happens.  Heart disease is called the "silent killer" for a reason.  If you aren't staying up with your vital signs then you'll never see it coming.  How long have you been overweight?  I was overweight for over 30 years of my adult life.  The result was a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery in March.  Make an appointment for a checkup and ask your doctor if you are at risk.  Don't be afraid to ask "what's going on."
